Non-member Participation Fee - Canadian residents only:
The CKC has instituted a Non-Member Participation fee for all Canadian residents who participate in a
CKC event but are not CKC members. The non-member participation fee is paid in any year a title is
earned and covers all titles and dogs owned by that individual. In order for the title to be awarded, the
non-member will have a choice to either become a CKC member or pay the non-member participation
fee. Failure to comply within 30 days of notification will result in the title being withheld and the dog
cannot be moved up to the next level. A non-member who is a resident of Canada is subject to the fee.
Dogs co-owned with a CKC member are exempt, as are CKC members.
